Amanzi eRio Zoquial ahlangana nalawo e-Atoyac. Umhosha mkhulu futhi ukubuyiswa kabusha kwelanga emanzini kulahleka ngemuva kwamajika amaningi.
IPuebla Mixtec ayethuli indawo efanelekile yokwamukela imiphakathi; empeleni lesi sifunda sikhulu futhi sinabantu abambalwa esifundazweni. Ukusizakala ngomhlabathi kuyinselelo enzima kakhulu, ngoba ukusweleka kwamanzi kusiza kuphela ukukhula kwe-cacti kanye nezihlahlana ezincane. Izinga lemvula lingamamilimitha ambalwa ngonyaka, kanti indawo eyomile eshisiwe esansundu inwebela amagquma ibheke eMixtec Oaxacan ngeSierra Madre Oriental.
Ezinyangeni ezimbili ezedlule ngacelwa ukuba ngiyohlola indawo ezungeze umfula i-Atoyac ukuze ngenze uhambo lokuvakasha kwezemvelo. Ukuhambela kokuqala bekungukubona kabusha indawo, ukuthi ikuphi ebalazweni kanye nendawo yemigwaqo yokungena. Isimo sezulu saso sinamanzi aphansi anezimvula ehlobo kanti izinga lokushisa lonyaka liphakathi kuka-20 ° no-30 ° C.
Ekuhambeleni kwami kwesibili, ngihambisana nabangane abathile bezintaba kanye nemishini eyisisekelo yokukhumbula kabusha, sanquma ukungena endaweni yomfula iZoquil nezimpophoma zawo. Abantu bendawo babiza le ndawo ngokuthi impophoma i-El Pescadito, okwathi ngemuva kwalesi sigemegeme saba yimpophoma i- "Cinco Tazas".
Amanzi ahlanzekile futhi ahlanzekile ikakhulukazi aphuma emthonjeni ongamamitha ayi-1,740 ngaphezu kolwandle noluyingxenye yendlela yawo emfushane ngaphambi kokuwela endebeni yokuqala, esetshenziswa njengokunisela nguJacinto, umlimi onesibindi ohlala nomndeni wakhe nomhlambi wezimbuzi emthunzini we-ahuehete.
Isimanga sethu sokuqala esikhulu kwaba ubuhle bemibala eluhlaza okwehluka kushona phansi igquma nokungena emhosheni omncane ochaza umfula iZoquial.
Ukuze usondele enkomishini yokuqala, kufanele ukhuphuke uhlangothi olungakwesokudla lomhosha uhamba ngendlela ewumngcingo futhi ikakhulukazi eduze kodonga. Indawo ayilingani, kunomhlabathi ovulekile futhi kunengozi yokuwa. Ngakwesobunxele sethu sizwa ukuduma kwamanzi kugijima kwezinye izinkomishi. Izitho ezinkulu zisibhekile njengemibhoshongo yabalindi; ukuphakama kwazo kuyahluka kusuka kumamitha amabili kuya kwayishumi, kuyintekenteke uma kuqhathaniswa nomoya kanye nezimila kule ndawo eyihlane.
Ngemuva kwesigamu sehora phakathi kwezihlahla, ameva kanye ne-cacti encane sifinyelele kuvulandi oyindebe yokuqala. Ekubukeni zibonakala zingamamitha ayishumi: amanzi apendiwe aluhlaza okomnqumo, impela phansi kuhlanzekile futhi akunalo udaka. Umcengezi wamatshe umbozwe umhlanga ohamba lapho umoya uvunguza. Ngemuva kwethu sine-ahuehuete esisinikeza ukuphepha kwentambo, esiyidlulise ngebhantshi ukuyivikela ekuzihlikihleni kumagxolo. Intambo emile iqoqwe esandleni esisodwa futhi nge-pendulum ngengalo efanayo iphonswa ize. Umzimba wethu ubhajwe kwihhanisi, uvikeleke nge-carabiner kwabayisishiyagalombili abasebenza njenge-brake. Sikhulula isinyathelo sokwehla kwempophoma sisondela emfuleni wamanzi. Ngemuva kwemitha emthambekeni, uketshezi lusimboza ngokuphelele; yimizuzwana embalwa yokushintsha kokushisa okunodlame, futhi kunzima ukugcina amehlo akho evulekile. Ikepisi elingaphansi kwesigqoko sokuzivikela lingasivikela kulezi zimo. Izindonga ezingaphansi kwezinyathelo zethu ziqhekekile futhi ziyashelela kusuka kubulembu obukhulayo. I-calcium esemanzini iyaqina eminyakeni edlule yenze izingqimba ezihlangene kodwa ezingalokothi ziqine; ngenxa yalesi sizathu ukusetshenziswa kwesigqoko sokuzivikela kubhekwa njengokudingekayo. Cishe maphakathi nokwehla kwami ngehla bese ngizithola sengiphezulu. Ngiguqula imilenze yami, ngiziphushele ngaphandle kwempophoma bese ngidedela intambo ukuze ngifinyelele esikhaleni. Sengivele ngibhukuda esitsheni, futhi ngibheka phezulu lapho umlingani wami esondela ekwehleni.
Umucu kuya kusishaweni eziyisishiyagalombili namakhaza. Ukusuka echibini engithatha kulo ukuphumula okufanelekile ngiyakwazi ukubheka ezinhlangothini zendiza yamanzi nezimo zayo. Impela ezikhathini ezedlule ububanzi bempophoma babukhulu kakhulu kunalobu obukhona manje futhi ngesitayela babheka izidalwa ezinamakhaza kanye nokwakheka okufana ne-stalactite okuwela njengamazinyo e-dinosaur.
Ngempumelelo bonke engihamba nabo badlula ngamunye ngamunye. Isipho somhlanga ngobuningi asisivumeli ukuthi sibone lapho amanzi aphela khona. Umgwaqo uhamba kancane ngoba akekho owaziyo ukusebenzisa ucelemba kahle. Sinyathela ngokucophelela, ngoba phansi akubonakali. ILanga lisemaphethelweni emakhanda ethu, kukhona izinga lokushisa elilinganiselwa ku-28 ° C futhi siphuthelwa yisoda ebandayo. Ngemuva kokudlula itshe elikhulu sibheke enkomishini yesibili; ngaphezu kwempophoma kuyisilayidi esikhulu esingamamitha ayi-15 ubude. Sikhetha isinyathelo esijabulisa kakhulu emhumeni obuyela echibini. URicardo uthuthuka kuqala, ulinganisa izinyathelo zakhe ngokuzethemba futhi anyamalale ebumnyameni besikhala, ngoba namuhla ungamamitha amathathu ubude. Ziyizingxenyana zamasekhondi. Sonke sibamba umoya. Umzwelo uphukile ngokukhala okujabulisayo okuvela kuRicardo okuvela ekukhanyeni.
Sonke sibheka ubungqayizivele bendawo, umehluko ophawulekayo phakathi kwezimila ezijabulisayo eziseduze kwethu ngokumelene nomswakama esiqaphela amamitha angama-20 ngaphezu kwamakhanda ethu. Kanye nokuphola kwamanzi sizwa ama-cicadas kude futhi sibona ukundiza kwama-buzzard alambile.
Indebe yesithathu ayinayo intshisekelo enkulu, kanti eyesine isibona sisehlakalweni sobuchwepheshe futhi esixubekile ngenxa yokwehluka kwalo odongeni olufanayo. Ngikhuphuka ngicashe phansi odongeni lomhlaba omhlophe ukuze ngingatholi ukubhoboza kwameva akhohlisayo. Ngiyashelela. Ngincamela ukudonsela umzimba wami phansi kunokuba ngimiswe yi-cacti ethile. Ngifika echibini, ngibhukude ngaphesheya kwalo bese ngima phambi kwempophoma ukuze ngithole isithombe esihle.
Eyokuqala yehlela amamitha amathathu okuqala, bese iguqula indlela yayo iye kwesokudla ngenxa yobuthakathaka bodonga iphinde ibuye ngakwesobunxele ngokuhola okwengeziwe.
Inkomishi yesihlanu yinde kakhulu, engama-20 m enogodo olukhulu ekugcineni. Sinezihlahla ezanele zokuvikela intambo. Ngezansi, amanzi omfula iZoquial ahlangana nalawo e-Atoyac. Umhosha mkhulu futhi ukubuyiswa kwelanga emanzini kulahleka ngemuva kwemihume eminingi. Ngokucophelela ngamunye ngamunye wethula ngokwethu kusuka kulokho kuphakama. Le yimpophoma ethakazelisa kunazo zonke: ukwakheka kwezwe kuyavuleka futhi, ngokungafani nezinye izinkomishi, udonga lucacile futhi lunobunzima obumaphakathi.
Sanelisekile ngokuzijabulisa kwethu saqonda elolini. Ukuphela kosuku kugcina ngokunambitheka okumunyu nokudabukisayo ngenxa yenqwaba kadoti esiyitholile ngesikhathi sibuyela edolobheni. Isihlanu yimpophoma kuphela engatholwa umuntu. Ezinye izinkomishi, ngenxa yokutholakala kwazo kanzima, azihlushwa ukuhlukunyezwa ngabantu futhi lokhu kusenze sazindla. Kwesinye isikhathi emsebenzini wethu sikhetha ukungadaluli amakhona athile ngenxa yokungazi okusizungezile. Kulokhu, uma kubhekwa ukuthi umonakalo wenziwe futhi uyingxenye, sithemba ukuthi umasipala waseMolcaxac uzothatha izinyathelo ukuvikela nokugcina le ndawo ihlanzekile.
UMA UYA KWI-MOLCAXAC
Uma usedolobheni lasePuebla, thatha umgwaqo omkhulu wesifundazwe uqonde eTehuacán; udlula idolobha laseTepeaca futhi ngemuva kwamakhilomitha angaba ngu-7 kufanele ujike ngakwesokudla ubheke eTepexi de Rodríguez, edume ngezimayini zayo zemabula. Kulo mgwaqo uzofika kumasipala waseMolcaxac lapho kuzofanele ujike khona ngegebe elizothi ngemuva kwamakhilomitha ama-5 likuholele endaweni yezimpophoma.
